Intro: Dsus2/B - Dsus2/F# - G - A
Verse 1:
AmGD
The air that you breathe it must be poison
BmAG
And you're dressed up in your best disguise
Bridge 1:
Dsus2/F#G
I don't want to hear what you have to say
Dsus2/F#G
It's there in your eyes when you look away
Dsus2/F#GE/AbA
These beautiful words are turning into lies
Chorus 1:
EmAD
How can you say that to me
Verse 2:
AmGD
The light that still shines is just an illusion
BmAG
Just a memory from a burned out star
Bridge 2:
Dsus2/F#G
Its promise has come from so far away
Dsus2/F#G
It's fighting through sadness and years of decay
Dsus2/F#GE/AbA
Oh and it's a wonder it ever made it this far
Chorus 2:
EmDsus2/F#GA
Well now how can you say that to me
EmDsus2/F#GA
After all of those secrets you let me believe
AmGGmDsus2/F#
There's no rose petal air, there's just thorns when I breathe
EmG
Well now how can you say that
Bridge 3:
BmF#mG
It's not this silence that screams in my mind
EmABm
Each day I feel like I'm falling behind
F#mG
Living in shadows, still getting burned
Gm
When will I ever learn
Chorus 3:
EmDsus2/F#GA
Well now how can you say that to me
EmDsus2/F#GA
After all of those secrets you let me believe
AmGGmDsus2/F#
There's no rose petal air, there's just thorns when I breathe
EmGD
Well now how can you say that to me
